WEEK 7 MINGLE

[probe]

POPULATION: 18 19

Good morning, starshines. It is another beautiful day here on the base, and it’s the start of a new week!

Good thing, too. After the death of Tartaglia Childe...well, perhaps there isn't any tension at all? Hard to say. Should anyone try to contact the deceased or review their profiles, they will find that they have been deleted from everyone's phones.

Perhaps you expect this by now, but it seems that the elevator reveals that it may now visit the eighth floor. It may be worth checking out these new areas, free for exploration. If you're feeling incredibly ambitious, you can also take a more in-depth look. Strange things are happening, little sinners. Don't be shy now.

While you can't contact the deceased, the Avatars are once again available via their eight symbols. Shoot them a message, have a chat with them, and see what you can learn. Perhaps you'll find it easier this week.

If you aren't too distracted, that is. For the most part, it may feel as though there isn't anything strange about this week. Everything proceeds as normal and life on the base is calm again. But every now and then, you'll feel a burning in your hand right where your tattoo is as it loses its color and fades to black temporarily. A sudden swell courses through your veins, almost as if being injected with a higher amount of your specific indulgence. You'll find it nearly impossible to do anything else until you act on it, draining the indulgence away and bringing color back to your marking. This won't always happen, and this won't always happen at a convenient time. It may be best to plan ahead. After all...if you ignore it for too long, you may find yourself changing. Those aligned with Envy may find themselves with several new eyes. Those aligned with Gluttony may find claws and a tail beginning to grow. Those aligned with Pride may feel a sharp pain in their head as a crown of thorns embeds itself into their skin. But the sooner you act, the sooner these changes will disappear.

Dedication's sweet, isn't it? Do try to give it your all.

Next time text me before you vanish, dingus.

[worthyness]

[at least this time he looks appropriately cowed.]

...I thought you knew what I was implying before I left.

[he really did just say "i've things to attend to" and left, so no.]

[evocationary]

No! You ghosted me! And I had to sit and worry for like a whole - hours! You give me wrinkles. All your fault.

[... she will come hug him though? wow just right in public huh]

[worthyness]

[just right in public!! and he allows it if only because yeah he can acknowledge...it was shitty...oops.]

On the other hand, I'm sure you would look lovely with wrinkles. [this would sound more sincere if it wasn't sort of flat. but he's trying here.]

[evocationary]

Stop! Don't try to wriggle out of me being mad at you by complimenting me! [because it'll work, probably.

anyway, she pulls away after a moment, but. absently reaches for his arm to try and use her warm hands to break up the ice veins.]

We made it. It's fine, we just have to be ready for tomorrow.

[worthyness]

[yeah he knows it'll work, that's why he says it. asshole. but when she touches his arm it's a strange sensation, given he's nearly frozen stiff in places. there's a sharp crackle of his skin and he tries not to wince, staying still for the warm touch.]

Right. I'm going to go back to work after things settle down a bit further to ensure we're prepared. They have a lot to discuss, and we have a lot to catch up on. But I can only assume this is the right step.

[evocationary]

[:( his arms... she just gently keeps rubbing warmth into him.]

I'll come with you. We can work on it together.

[worthyness]

[it helps thaw his skin just a little, at least. but he shakes his head.]

No, it's alright. [he glances to wherever a certain someone is.] I'm sure you're needed elsewhere. We can always touch base in the morning.

[evocationary]

I'm needed where I say I'm needed. [she says firmly.] You're not my boss, and I'm not going to leave you to slowly freeze on your own, doing research until six in the morning.

I can go find people later. Deal with it, Miles.

[worthyness]

[he looks like he's composing himself for an argument, but struggling to come up with one.]

And I'm simply saying it would be best for you to be in a less-stressful environment after today's events. Your magic isn't exactly relaxing, Lup.

[he thinks? he doesn't know shit about fuck about magic.]

[evocationary]

You know, you can tell me you want me to leave you alone instead of coming up with reaches. Otherwise I'm choosing what I want to do.

[>:T] I've been through worse than holding a portal open for six hours.

[worthyness]

It's not--[HUFF. he looks a little frustrated because he doesn't want to publicly talk about this? stop it.]

...only if you promise to leave when the time's appropriate.

[evocationary]

[haha she wins]

Uh huh. Okay, bud.

[worthyness]

[he doesn't have a tail like Sebastian but if he did it would be lashing in annoyance. but yeah, yeah, lup wins...he stays quiet though to listen to the group at large and monitor them, leaning against her slightly.]
